Bella rolled her eyes, as Alice and I examined our newcomer.
"I see you two are together…still…weren't you gone for like, months!" Lauren said in an exaggerating tone. This seemed to annoy Bella the most, as her hands were crossed over her chest, her fingers curled up into a fist.
"Yes we were gone for a long time, but Bella came a long too" I lied, doing such a good job at it, that Lauren's face was perplexed.
"Bella came…with you?! To Europe?!" she said, blinking fast several times. Edward and Alice hid their smiles, and seemed to love the torture it brought Lauren.
"Yes she came, and we had so much fun! We went to Paris, London, Berlin, and even Rome! Remember Rome Bella? That was so romantic, especially when Edward got the public's attention just to tell them that he loves you!" Alice said in excitement, a twinkle in her eye. She was definitely good at lying, and the look on Lauren's face seemed to add more fun to it.
"Oh yes, I remember that." Bella said, an evil smile on her face. Bella looked at me, came closer, and kissed me. It was perfect. Her arms around my neck, she got on her tippy toes, and I could read Lauren's mind and could have danced with joy.
They make such a perfect couple! Ugh, that is not fair. Am I getting jealous? No, I'm not…okay I am but that is not fair. Why does Bella get everything!!
Lauren turned around, and started walking in the other direction. She was mumbling furious and unmentionable comments under her breath. My lips frowned as I heard everything she said about Bella.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked, staring at me in perplexity.
"That Lauren has a very colorful vocabulary" I left it at that, hoping Bella wouldn't question me further upon my skills of reading minds.
"She's a git" Alice added, not making the situation any better.
"Screw her, so how was Europe?" Bella asked, a frown sketching onto her face. It was clear that she deeply wanted us to take her, but Charlie insisted that she go visit Reneè instead.
"It was fun. I just wished that you could've came! It would be so much better with you there!" Alice said, jumping up.
Bella nodded, a slight smile on her lips.
'Thank You' her mouth mouthed the words, but no sound came out. Bella was hurt, and if she was hurt, so was I.
Putting my arms around Bella, I kissed her slightly on her forehead. She put her head on my chest, and we walked to class together, creating stares, points, and whispers in our direction. We were used to it though, and we entered our homeroom. For some odd reason (wink, wink), the school put us together in every class. It definitely had nothing to do that I had beautiful looks, and started the secretary and put slight pressure on them to change my schedule to match Bella's. Okay, maybe it did have to do with that, but it hurt to have us together. It did the exact opposite.
I bent over, and talked to Bella with my elbows on her desk, my head resting on my hands. Bella was still upset over the whole 'Europe' thing, for she wasn't talking much. She would get over it though, I knew.
"Hey, can I come over tonight?" I asked, giving her a wink. That made her smile, and I returned the favor.
"Of course, at 10 preferably. Remember, do it quietly" she said, the phrase 'do it quietly' always escaping from her mouth. She knew that I would never get caught, but something in her had her worried that I might just get caught one day or another. I assured her over and over that it will be impossible for me to get caught, since I knew what everybody in the house was doing. It even made it easier that Bella and Charlie were the only residents living in their home, and the only person I had to be careful about was Charlie.
I nodded, and kissed her cheek, and went back to my desk. A confused expression lingered over her face until she saw the teacher come in, and rolled her eyes. I knew that the teacher was coming, and I was just showing off a tad bit of my abilities, and looked at the teacher as he gave out a 'Beginning of the Year Pop Quiz'. Ignoring everybody's groans, I finished the quiz before most people got out their pencils. It was fairly easy, since I've been over this subject over hundreds of times. I couldn't wait until school was over. The pressure, the talk, the rumors will be gone, and when night would set place, I would finally be alone with Bella.
